RISK MANAGEMENT:
does not avoid risk but helps the organisation to be prepared
minimizing adverse outcomes and ensure opportunities are recognized and seized up
•
HAZARD: unsafe condition (hole in the floor), environmental threat (excessive VOC
emissions) or security concern (unauthorized access)
HAZARD BASED RISK: combination of probability that the hazard will affect someone or
something and the seriousness of the consequences.
